Three teenagers are now facing charges in connection with a shooting outside Ross Park Mall late last month. 

Myshawn Scott, 16, is facing aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, and gun charges in connection with the September 30 shooting that injured another teenager, who showed up at Allegheny General Hospital a short time after shots rang out at the mall.

According to a criminal complaint, the teen at the hospital told investigators they had been shot while walking in the Ross Park Mall parking lot near the Dick's Sporting Goods House of Sport. 

Two other juveniles are being charged as juveniles, Ross Township police said. Deputy Chief Brian Kohlhepp said police identified four people who were involved with the shooting incident, and that three of them actually fired rounds.

"These people got involved in a shooting here, based on an altercation, and being upset over things that happened earlier," explained Ross Township Deputy Chief of Police Brian Holhepp. 

The teen who was shot admitted to returning fire. Police said all three students who fired shots will be charged criminally.

Police said that during the course of their investigation, they reviewed surveillance video from the mall and provided a photo of the alleged shooter to Pittsburgh Public Schools Police, who identified the teen suspect as Scott.

Police said that Scott and the victim attend the same high school.

All three suspects have been arrested. Scott was arraigned and released with an unsecured bond, Ross police said. 

Witness said mall shooting sounded like fireworks 

A witness told KDKA-TV that she was shopping inside the Dick's Sporting Goods House of Sport at the time of the shooting when she heard what sounded like fireworks. She then heard people screaming.

"They think that they can get away with it because they haven't been caught," Joyce Evans of Mt. Washington said. "But eventually I guess they will."  

The woman said her car was parked next to another vehicle that was hit by a stray bullet.
